Re: Excellent review with an interesting set of pix, John

I echo just about everyone's enthusiasm.  Only had mine for 2 weeks and not been able to shoot a lot, but I'm pretty happy with the results.  I too was torn between the PL 100-400 and the Oly 300 pro, but at these long focal lengths I think a fixed focal length can be very limiting.

My zoom ring is a bit rough (compared to the beautifully smooth Olympus Pros) but I'm either getting used to it or it's getting better with use.

A few early samples:

Kookaburra

Kookaburra

New Holland Honey Eater

Masked Lapwing

Magpie

Looking forward to trying it out at an airshow.
